[syslog-ng] syslog-ng in FreeBSD ports

[Peter Czanik]

Hello,

Thanks to Cy of FreeBSD project, syslog-ng in the FreeBSD ports got 
updated in the past few days. There are multiple syslog-ng ports, here 
is a list, which version they carry now:

sysutils/syslog-ng-devel: this is where all the fun happens, the latest 
and greatest syslog-ng, right now 3.5.1. It has redis support added, but 
no manual pages (missing from the release tgz).

sysutils/syslog-ng: the "main" syslog-ng port has now 3.4.5 and 
considered to be the best balance between new features and maturity

sysutils/syslog-ng33: the 3.3 line is still available, currently at 
3.3.11 for those willing to stay with 3.3

sysutils/syslog-ng2: has the long time EoL 2.0.10, which I plan to 
remove as soon as all major Linux distributions stopped using it (when 
migrating to FreeBSD, it's easier to use the same version first and 
update later)

Most likely around the time syslog-ng 3.6 beta is released, the current 
syslog-ng port will be copied to syslog-ng34, syslog-ng-devel to 
syslog-ng and syslog-ng-devel will be updated to 3.6.

FYI: checking version is easy using FreshPorts:

Bye,
